I noticed the intro I had equipped for Soldier 76 is broken, he just doesn’t show up on screen at all— so I went to the hero gallery and it’s not even in there anymore. Blizzard removed his steak grilling highlight. D: #overwatch

@Kotaku I stopped playing Overwatch a long time ago, but I'm so happy Blizzard is doing the correct things to fix their toxic work environment

@5ilent_Requiem @PlayOverwatch Unfortunately the game just isn't as fun as it was during the first and second years of the game..the Toxicity of the Overwatch community just ruins the fun of the game for me now and has completely driven me away especially with how BROKEN the Ranked playlist is still

overwatch, instead of fixing any of their major problems, changed the name of the cowboy character?

i dont hate mccree's new name, it's fairly cowboy, but im more mad that blizzard thinks this is what's going to fix overwatch or their reputation

On one hand, I like that Overwatch has changed a character's name so that he no longer shares the name of a certain ex-employee, and Cole Cassidy isn't a bad name. On the other hand, this is just a tiny fix, and there's still a lot of accountability left to be done.

@BelfordOrion @CinderWolf5673 @PlayOverwatch i meant the devs more than the actual players. devs usually switch from game to game. i agree, it shouldn’t be ignored but that isn’t the overwatch team’s issue to deal with, it’s blizzard as a whole. this change is an overwatch team idea, not blizzards.

@PlayOverwatch Overwatch putting as much effort into to fixing the problem as my comp team does to win the game.

@JaketheAxolotl This is a weird argument you mention the it’s blizzard not the dev team for overwatch but you criticise them, the dev team shouldn’t have to fix problems that are blizzards fault yet does and people get mad at them for it not being good enough

@KingBrobert84 @XdaC_life @PlayOverwatch What's for the victims is to fix the environment and punish the perpetrator. I don't see how this helps the victims in any way, this real life "Jesse McCree" guy will probably live longer than the Overwatch game and thus keeping the name in game definitely won't "immortalize" him

@hudsun202 @PlayOverwatch Ah! It was a joke. I was thinking 🤔 and was like: yeah there's no way he's serious. But it'll be a very long time for blizzard as a whole to fix many serious issues. The overwatch team is safe though

And the OW team is the one furthest separated from the controversy... Like you all actually need to look into the issue instead of making Overwatch a scapegoat because they changed a character's name.

(@HereBeParadoxic) reported
IDK about everyone else but if they're gonna change his name, Cole Cassidy is a hell of a cowboy name. Now they just need to fix the route of the problem, and Overwatch while they're at it.

@JenosonTwit Some of the Overwatch players/fans I've talked to, didn't realize McCrea was named after anyone at Blizz/rd. And with the disclaimer of "no one sharing a name with a living/dead person is represented by this char" would have been better imo, so they could focus on real issues.

@TheNCSmaster @PlayOverwatch There's not much that the overwatch devs can do to fix the company they work for

Civil Disorder
(@civil_disorder_) reported
1) Cole Cassidy is a nice gesture and all but there are more important and relevant things Blizzard should be doing to address their problems. 2) Cole Cassidy isn't a creative name. 3) Point 2 doesn't matter because nobody plays Overwatch anymore. :V

@CasualFolami All this being said, I think it was ******* stupid to rename McCree in the first place. He wasn't a random character in WoW (and don't get me started on the censorship issues there), he was a popular character with a backstory, merch, ect within Overwatch.

@RSPN_Jello @shahin @PlayApex The best frankly it's time to get an Apex 2.0 on PC/next gen console like Epic did with Fortnite 2, BLIZZARD/ OVERWATCH 2 , ACTIVISION/ A NEW COD EVERY YEAR. THE CORE GAME CODE IS BROKEN UNTIL WE STAY ON THIS OLD VERSION THE GAME WILL BE BUGGED FOREVER.

@JordanP02777484 @rabbidluigi The Overwatch team can't do anything to change the working environment of Activision-Blizzard as a whole, that is up to the higher ups like Bobby Kotick. Asking the Overwatch team to fix everything is like asking the minimum waged Walmart employees to pay themselves better.

@xXoGrimShadyoXx @OverwatchNaeri People gotta realise that Activision Blizzard Businesspeople =/= Overwatch game developers. The devs do what they can, within reason. The higher-ups are the problem.

There goes blizzard changing hero name in overwatch to some new garbage...still not doing ANYTHING about bs going on in their company. Changing hero name is not changing all the **** that was going on there and it's not fixing a problem. Pathetic attempt to shup ppl up.

@KillerKoalaz Also I’ve pumped a good £400 into this game in about 18 months because I’m an idiot… and they just repay with a broken game. Overwatch, never spent a penny more than the £25 I paid for the game when I got it 5 years ago.

@NoPulseGames @PlayOverwatch It's a decision from Team4(Overwatch developers) to support the victims and their coworkers. It's not to fans to decide if it's stupid. Also it makes you think isn't? if it were really a higher up decision they would be doing the opposite, no? ignoring the whole issue imo?
